uCON64 its an utility start
from VENENUX and ones of start utilities from massenkoh, with
ucon64 can be do roms administration task for repeated roms and
undefined.

In this case will patch a translate of RockMan Forte 9, by the
tranlate are MegaMan 9 Megaman and Bass. So here will demostrate
the poser of multimedia suite in VENENUX and the massenkoh extra
packages.

Where is the uCON64?

In the “Games” menu of KDE and also in Debian
menu by “Emulators” section, with the uf-fox name that are the frontend.

IMPORTANT: if ucon64 suite
will be instaled complety from massenkoh repository its important
run ucon64ready program from “Games/Ocio”
on KDE menu or from section “Emulators” in
Debian menu, this will preprare ucon64 sesion enviorement for
current user.

Its required only thre things, VENNEUX+ucon64, rom and ips, and
some DB files optionaly:

a)VENENUX+ucon64:

Its impossible install ucon64 correctly in others minor category
OS so must be download VENENUX or install ucon64 from massenkoh
repository (its comes with all DB files and firware).

b)Rom+Parche

Its required only two files, originaly rom game (could be possible
hav a (J) to end of name) named “MegaMan9(J).smc and the ips
patch file “MegaMan9(J)+T-eng).ips”. There are many
king of patchs, here are used IPS type, they can be used togeter
with the rom file without rom modification (but massenkoh
emulators can handle modifieds roms!).

c) dat DB files: this files are used for references in rom
identification, can be necesary in sometimes, but there are not
GPL, only free for use, massenkoh repositorys have all and also at
install will configure with ucon64-suitepackage!

Download ucon64, uf-fox and ucon64-suite(*) from venenux.org or
added the venenux repository, on sarge will require libfox1.2 and
on etch will require libfox1.4, lenny users dont care me, i not
use modern distributions.

As can see, firts select rom file and conform that not have any
patched, the patch its for translate to english, by the way rom
info should show any other languaje issue to english, in ucon64
output can see:

Can be launch and test in SNES emulator, of course massenkoh only
use snes9x i hate zsnes from VENENUX, by the way its good that
VENENUX handle a GPL emulator, snes9x its only opensource. Open in
a terminal from menu services tools from konqueror and then run
“zsnes” command, as show in pictures here:

a) Here one cofigures everything, in the ucon64 window must
be to “misc” tab, here exits a section for
“Patching”, select the “change”
button in the Patch file line for choose the ips patch file
to use.

b) After must be select the “Apply”
button for modify, then a window wil be opened for choose the rom
game to modify with the ips patch file, as can be see in the
pictures:

The results of modification will see in output window of ucon64
(uf-fox frontend), a backup file .bak will be created that are the
name of original rom without modifications, the original rom now
patched stil remain file original name, but internaly will be
modified.

NOTE: here its good rename file .bak as original and
modified file as patched.

In this case “MegaMan9(J).bak” was renamed to
“MegaMan9jap.smc” and the modifed file
“MegaMan9(j).smc” was renamed to
“megaMan9modif.smc” , why?

WHY RENAMES?: cos this will be
usefully for learn to unpatch, in the other post of how unpatch a
ips applied to modified rom.

Mupen64plus has
released a new version, and upon request PICCORO is the new
official maintainer, which surely deserves a serious problem,
packing for AMD64!, as you can build a package on a amd64 machine
x86, but environment proof it is very important, and it does not.
So sure will make a standar non-optimized oficial package for
now!

1.4
(hacked massenkoh): this version is fully
compatibility with sarge and etch, and it is compatible with
coexisting and sharing old mupen64 plugins both! This version has
some great changes over original proyect, its recommend to instal
and try!

VENENUX 0.8 was released the first
rc, venenux-08-rc4, now VENENUX comes with many updates on
professional audi/video tools, but also join with the multimedia
diversion entertaiment packages, emulators, cross-sompilinmg and
artworks issues!

The most mayority of software are complety
instalable in Debian systems, but for use professional VENENUX
tools u must install VENENUX for this, meanwhile emulation, games
and deve micro can be instaled through massenkoh repository
(soon), this repo line are now temporaly!:
